The verb “slaviti”

In the previous lesson you encountered the verb proslaviti (to celebrate something one time, a completed action). In this lesson you have seen the verb slaviti. This verb will be used when we want to indicate that someone is celebrating something repeatedly.

5.1.2 Zadatak 1: Što slavimo?

Listen to each date and mark whether the given statement is True (Točno) or False (Netočno).

Preposition PO

In this lesson you learned that each of the countries in the region follows a specific calendar. To express this, you need to use the preposition po + Locative case.

Calendar names

Thus, in terms of B/C/M/S terminology, each calendar consists of: a possessive adjective (julijanski, gregorijanski, lunarni) and the noun (kalendar). Because of this, when you want to say that a certain holiday is celebrated according to a specific calendar you need to use the preposition po and the adjective ending in the locative for ”julijanski, gregorijanski, lunarni“ and the noun ending in the locative for ”kalendar“.

5.1.2 Zadatak 2: Države i religije

Look at the map and indicate what calendar each of the countries uses for celebrating their holidays.

5.1.2 Zadatak 3: Blagdani i praznici

Look at the following holidays (national or religious) and write in what month each of them is celebrated. Be sure to use the correct preposition as well. Example: Ove godine se u Hrvatskoj Uskrs slavi po gregorijanskom kalendaru u travnju.
